Delphinium is a genus in the Ranunculaceae family found in America, Asia, Europe, and even Africa. Many of the species grow from woody rootstocks or clusters of tubers and die back part of the year. These species are the ones that we will include on this wiki page. Some may argue that they are not really geophytes. They are of varying height and color with blues and purples being the most common. Snails and slugs love this genus. This genus is notoriously difficult to key out so pictures of leaves and flowers may both be added. Pictures and information about the species pictured on the wiki can be found by clicking on the species pages or the individual species link from the table below.
